Introduction 
T HE wonderful new strains of Kunderd Gladioli are now so well known 
and so world wide has become their popularity that I need not give you 
a long story about them in this catalog. As you read the strong testi¬ 
monials further on in this catalog you must realize that only superior merit can 
earn and acquire such great praise. Many of my best patrons are the most 
prominent people in the world, who know and want only the very best, and 
these people are continually sending me the names of their friends and, it is 
this praise backed by the very highest quality which has built up the very large 
and growing patronage which these “new creations” now enjoy. Eleven of the 
thirty wealthiest people in the United States are my regular annual customers. 
This is no small achievement. As all know who are familiar with Gladioli 
there were no ruffled strains of Gladioli in existence until my origin of these 
remarkable new forms. Thousands of fine new varieties are continually ap¬ 
pearing on my trial grounds and the best of these will be added to my lists 
from year to year, so, that each season you can secure some new delights to 
beautify your floral gardens. Not only have the ruffled varieties been originated 
on my grounds, but many of the most beautiful plain petaled kinds such as 
Mrs. Frank Pendleton, Mrs. Dr. Norton, Mary Pickford, etc., from the same 
ancestry. Indian Summer, Autumn, etc., are closely related to the same lines 
of development, and within another year or so I shall offer an entirely new 
and beautifully lacinated type. Other remarkable new forms are yet to ap¬ 
pear to extend still further the marvelous beauty of this remarkable flower in 
years to come. I make no claims not fully justified by the merits of these 
“new creations” and I know my customers will bear me out in all I say. The 
extraordinary novelty of these strains has placed them in a class by themselves 
and they easily surpass all others. 
Tell your friends of these beautiful new Gladioli and help them secure 
something grand, something way out of the ordinary, and by far the finest 
Gladioli in the world.

We very much regret to hear that you have discontinued shipping to points 
south of the Equator and would beg of you kindly to reconsider your determi¬ 
nation in this respect. It will be a great deprivation to us indeed to no longer 
have your beautiful creations. We have had Gladioli from all parts of the 
World, but there are none to compare with yours. Please let us hear from 
you. Kindly send us your future Catalogs and we will be pleased to pay for 
same.
